Pages linked from here describe common problems with Amanda, their causes, and their solutions. The same article may be linked under several different categories for easier searching.
By Application
amandad
amcheck
- Access as localuser not allowed from remoteuser@remotehost
- Amcheck cannot login as the amanda user
- Configuration keyword expected
- Not an amanda tape
- Numerical argument out of domain
- Port NNNN is not secure
- Selfcheck request failed
- Why does amcheck fail while amdump succeeds?
amdump
- Tar dumps every file in a level-1 backup after a hardware change
- Amdump Only Creates Incremental Dumps in Holding Disk
- Amdump fails to create level 0 dumps
- Amdump is terribly slow
- Badly formatted response from (Zmanda Windows Client)
- Cannot overwrite active tape
- Data timeout
- Disk offline
- Dump returned 1
- Dump larger than available tape space
- Dump size is the same regardless of the backup level
- Dumps way too big, must skip incremental dumps
- Infofile update failed
- Memory allocation failed
- Mesg read: Connection reset by peer
- "No space left on device" when writing to tape
- Planner: ERROR amanda user is not allowed to execute the service noop
- Results missing
- Sendbackup error: no backup size line
- Tape Input-Output error
- Unexpected field value in snapshot file
- DUMP: Warning - block NNN is beyond the end of DEVICE
- planner: ERROR Request to AMANDA CLIENT failed: timeout waiting for ACK
- dumps too big, but cannot incremental dump new disk
amflush
amrecover
- 500 Access not allowed
- Amrecover: wildcard characters in filenames
- Could not read config file
- EOF, check amidxtaped.debug
- No index records for host-disk
- Why does `amrecover` start over and over again, when I tell it to extract from tape?
- Why does amrecover erase files?
amrestore
